Installation walk-through for 045538
Lutron document 045538 gives five steps, in the document's order, after the fixings it lists.
The clearance, the check and the warning under a step are the document's own.
Fixings
- Fasteners for the surface, rated 50 lb (23 kg), not provided
- Horizontal board between the studs as bottom support, recess mount
- Strain relief devices, one for each knockout used (not included)
- 10 AWG to 14 AWG (4.0 mm² to 2.5 mm²) power wire
- 2-pin terminal blocks for the outputs (10 provided, packaged separately)
Prepare the Smart Panel
Loosen the four front cover screws, slide the cover upward and lift it away. Take out the two line voltage shield screws and lift the shield out, keeping the screws for refitting.
Mount the Smart Panel
Pick a place that will remain accessible, since Lutron supplies no mounting hardware. For a surface mount, fix the enclosure to the wall through the three keyholes in its back.
For a recess mount, fit a horizontal board between the studs as a bottom support. Fix the panel to the right-hand stud and to that board through the holes provided.
Check: Fasteners suit the surface and are rated for a 50 lb (23 kg) load
Connect line voltage
Knock out a tab near the input terminal blocks and fit a strain relief. Pull 10 AWG to 14 AWG (4.0 mm² to 2.5 mm²) power wire to the input blocks at the top left.
Strip each conductor, land line, neutral and ground as the figure shows, and tighten each screw. Tighten the strain relief, then refit the line voltage shield with its original screws.
Clearance: Strip 5/16 in (8 mm); torque 5 in-lb (0.5 N·m)
Check: No insulation inside the terminal block
Warning: Risk of electric shock: lock the supply circuit breaker off before wiring the terminal block
Connect the Sivoia QS Wireless window treatments
Remove knockout tabs on the left side as needed and fit a strain relief in each one used. Run the power cable from each Sivoia QS Wireless device through it.
Strip each conductor, put COM and V+ into a 2-pin block as the receptacle labels show, and tighten the screws. Plug the block into a power output receptacle and tighten the strain relief.
Lutron recommends making the final connection at the device after the panel work.
Clearance: Strip 1/4 in (6 mm); torque 5 in-lb (0.5 N·m); run length within the output wiring table
Check: Shade limits and free operation validated straight after power-up
Warning: Risk of electric shock and fire: never interconnect power output terminals or join V+ between outputs
Monitor output status
Read the status LED fitted to each power output. A lit LED shows the output and its devices running normally.
A dark LED points to a short circuit. With no short on the output, the power supply module has failed and needs replacing.
Check: Every output in use shows its LED lit
